relaxing, nice rooms, good view, solid food

Palau is a quiet place, with not a ton to do other than dive and relax. This hotel is great for relaxing and has access to diving. Good food. Nice views. Beach area is not big, but is nice and differentiates from other hotels in the area.

I'm a repeat guest. All the staff were friendly and nice, the spa was nice as before, and the food was good. The only thing I didn't like was there were people smoking outside the smoking area( I couldn't dry my diving gears on the balcony cause the guest next door were always smoking on the balcony, which is not allowed).

It's a really nice place....people nice and helpful.....but, my lord, food is expensive and pretty mediocre. I am given to believe that's the nature of all of Palau so don't know that this should reflect on the hotel Solely. The Drop Off restaurant very close by has cheaper and better food

Room Choice Mischaracterizes the View

The water view rooms all face the bay yet the room selections give you an ocean view as an option. You can see the ocean if you go out on the balcony and look to the right. I selected ocean view for a higher rate which is no different than a bay view hence is deceitful.

Motel 6 for Asians

We are Americans visiting Palau to relax and SCUBA dive. This hotel is in the wrong place next to a boat dock that the dive operators won't use. Food is directed to Taiwanese and Japanese tastes. No internet in room or lobby. Crummy view. Lots of screaming undisciplined children. If you are from Europe or North America, AVOID THIS HOTEL. We are now staying at the Pacific Palau Resort....which is pretty darn good.

Don't waste your money. Go next door to the Cove

Nice pool, nice room. That was it. No breakfast buffet. Outrageous food prices. TV has 4 stations that came in. No movie channel. We also stayed next door at the Cove for a few nights. I would definitely stay THERE again.
